Read about the 10 top
facts (and a short description of them) about the meat and dairy
industries that should make everyone stop consuming these products:
In a creepy, Big-Brotherish tactic straight out of a sci-fi movie,
the federal government uses catchy slogans to get people to buy more
meat and dairy; Americans eat more meat per person than any other
people on earth, and we’re paying the price in doctor bills; animal
food production is the world’s leading cause of climate change;
there’s no sustainable way to raise animal foods to meet the world’s
growing demand; a $5 Big Mac would cost $13 if the retail price
included hidden expenses that meat producers offload onto society;
American governments spend $38 billion each year to subsidize meat
and dairy, but only 0.04% of that ($17 million) to subsidize fruits
and vegetables; big businesses love farm subsidies but small farmers
and rural Americans hate them; factory fishing ships are exploiting
the world’s oceans so aggressively that scientists fear the
extinction of all commercially fished species within several
decades; fish farming isn’t the answer; and if they treated a dog or
cat like that, they’d go to jail.
